Went to the drugstore today for cough medicine, and as it turns out I got a hair straightener because they have these new ones with ceramic plates that aren't supposed to thrash hair and they cost a zillion bucks for a good one but I said fuggit & got one on sale at Long's Drugs: $19.99 after rebate. Plus it comes with these really cool warning labels & safety instructions. I think my favorite is #6: Never use while sleeping.
Being sick is really boring, and I am about ready to freak out.
Yesterday I went to Tumble & Tea with Joss, Gavan, all their kids, and Nancy. (Tumble & Tea is this cafe with a big, fun play area for little kids so parents can lounge about while their children do stuff.) I had a good time despite the fact that an earlier coughing fit had sent my back into muscular spasms so that whenever I bent over or sat down or stood up I would say things like "Guuhhruughh! Jesus f*ing Christ!"
There was a cute guy working the counter & I mentioned to Gavan that I thought so & THEN she took things into her own hands & wandered off, found him, told him that one of her friends thought he was cute-& when he said he was flattered but already had a girlfriend, she identified me as the woman in the fuzzy purple hat. ?!? He obligingly said that he thought I was cute also, and gave Gavan his card to pass on because he was in a band & maybe I could come and watch a show sometime at Tumble & Tea (I'm guessing this is at night, without kids?) I'm not sure what that was supposed to mean, but here are some possible expansions: 1. Here's my card, I'm with a girlfriend but maybe I'm interested anyway since I'm a low-down, two-timing so-and-so. 2. I'm taken but one of my bandmates is hard up. 3. I'm a nice guy and also I am trying to drum up a bigger audience & promote my band. 4. This is someone else's card & I'm trying to get rid of you.
In all honesty, I think #3 is the most likely possiblity, because he seemed like a nice guy. Note to self: never mention cute guys to Gavan unless I am ready to be outed. So for example, not when I am sick with a cold and dressed like a slob. . . it's nice to be 38, because if I was 17 I would probably be permanently mortified. But it was very sweet of Gavan to try to help out.

Ummm, am I bad? Ok. I am bad. But Ais, sometimes we have to strike while the iron is HOT-HOT-HOT!! He was so cute, and just seemed so nice, and happy, and friendly and open, and cute (did I say that already?) Anyway, he totally thought you were cute too--and he wouldn't have given me his card to give you unless he wanted to keep the connection alive! So give the guy a call gf! At the very least, you can see him play, and maybe you will meet your dreamboat there. (Remember...I met my husband at a dive bar when he was on his way to the boys room) lol..You just NEVER know when or how you are going to meet "the one"
But O.K., o.k., I am still bad. I know. I won't do that to you again--I PROMISE! Not unless you say it's o.k.
Gotta run...I want to continue reading your posts...I am enjoying them so much! (haven't visited since November!)
Talk more soon chickadee

ps
love hair straighteners...they are so cool!
Yes Gavan, you are bad. But in a good way! What would be do without your wild impetuosity, enthusiasm, and rampant matchmaking? When I got home today, Joss couldn't wait to tell me about the scene at Tumble n Tea; I think she was a little disappointed that you told me already!
Heyyyyy there! I am thinking that next time I go in, why don't I just give him your number? That way you don't have to do any work...he can call and you can decide at that point if you want to "respond". I don't blame Joss. It was just too damn juicy to NOT tell you! lol!!! He's definitely interested gf! I say give it some consideration, what can a little date hurt? It might even be FUN!! You go girl! Putting out the vibe and making it happen...now THATS the law of attraction! Wooo HOOOO!!!!
